United States Secretary of State
Antony Blinken tweeted Friday: "Proud to partner with my Italian
counterpart @luigidimaio to highlight the robust U.S.-Italy
relationship established 160 years ago! Together we have
accomplished much, and we look forward to a bright future of
continued cooperation."
The State Department noted that this year marks the 160th
anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between
Italy and the United States, dating back to 1861, when Italians
"came together, propelled by the momentous awakening of the
Risorgimento, under the banner of a single, unified Nation".
